"The Royal Festival Hall organ is an attempt to realise an ideal conception in which as many as possible of the musically worthy features of all schools and periods of organ-building practice are combined in one instrument, and the unmusical excesses of all periods and schools are as far as possible avoided. . The observers who were present at the inaugural concert on March 24th 1954 and the opening recital on March 27th were asked to form a judgment. Naturally enough it would be asking too much to expect any one of them entirely to shelve or ignore his own preferences for certain types of tonal quality, but one may resonably say that the opinions expressed in the following articles have been formed with an open mind. " The contributors: W. L. Sumner, Cecil Clutton, B. B. Edmonds, Walter Emery, Gilbert Benham, Susi Jeans. Four full-page b/w photographs, printed on one side only, by Gilbert Benham. Reproductions of the "Programme of the Inaugural Concert March 24th, 1954" and "Programme of the Opening Recital March 27th, 1954." Two pages of specifications for The Royal Festival Hall Organ.
